Assassin Scouting Report: Video and Blog post

Scared of speed, stealth and cunning? Hand to hand combat not dumping your dump truck? Afraid of light bending around your enemies? Hate the confusion of wondering where your prey went? Not appreciative of blades? Like words? Then Assassin is what you need to watch out for! The Monday Night Combat Assassin is the scalpel in a world of chainsaws. She is the answer to those annoying questions. She is the reason Pros wake up in a cold sweat. She's a ghost, an enigma, the whisper of something sinister coming and she's a chick. This season the Assassin is why you need to watch your back.

You want to avoid being another notch on the Assassin's hilt, right? Remember these things:

1. Her blades are deadly, keep her distance. If she's shooting shurikens at you, keep your distance, watch wall bounces and hope for the best.

2. You can't out run her. So kill her fast!

3. Be observant, watch for the warble and listen for the hum of her cloak. If all else fails, get a tank and light her up!

4. If she smoke bombs you, look to the skies. Better yet, take her down before she has a chance to smoke bomb you then laugh hysterically.

Most of all remember that chicks with swords are deadly. Chicks with swords who eat bacon are just plain scary.

"The assassin is a chick? how did i miss that?" <-- lol

She seems even more fun now

Quick question, do speed endorsements stack with sprint? or will her sprint always be the same speed (aside from leveling).

The screens are great eka thanks

I recognize a lot of them from your powerpoint

L3G1T,

You're good with that Google search Thanks for looking at the slides.

Haha nah, there was a link to the "Stylized Rendering in Games" panel page in John's tweet wishing you good luck. So I went there and scrolled down to the MNC portion, saw the materials portion and was filled with joy as I clicked the download button.

Sweet! I figured but I had to be sure.

In each video that discusses the lethal assassin I notice that "you can hear her" comes up a few times. Does having a set of Turtle Beach X31's (or X3's) help hear her better?

I can't speak directly to those particular head phones, but certainly playing any competitive game with higher than generic TV quality sound and presumably less ambient noise is helpful. You'd probably be better off playing with some cheap ear bud head phones over the average TV too, but I don't think anyone does.

I use button earphones all the time due to my setup I have a screen which is shared between my pc for work and my game consoles, earphones are the perfect choice since I play a lot of music while working.

They really do help hear sounds in games compared to regular tv speakers any time.

I love the vid! Please keep them coming!

Hey, will these videos become availible on xbox? Also, will each class be getting one? (is really looking forward to support and assault)

Aw man, C'mon!

Hmmm, I just noticed that the Pit-Girl and Assault look a little high in this one.

Why would you tell anyone this? We're not much of an enigma now that you've blabbed our recipe for kick-assery all over the interweb.

...we know where you sleep.
